There is no "Xfce Desktop" group, as it's unknown in the metadata.
EPEL (official one) has a comps.xml that defines such groups and so
which packages are mandatory/optional for a group ID.

As on our side, we just rebuild through build queues the EPEL src.rpm
pkgs, and that after each successful build there is only a createrepo
task that is ran, we don't point to a comps.xml that can be used for that.

We can probably "hack" the .py scripts from plague on our side for that,
just for epel rebuilds, but maybe not worth doing . .so you can probably
inspect the epel comps.xml, and see which pkgs have to be installed ?
